let's look at another thing that president obama talked about the other night. he's talking about raising the minimum wage to $9 an hour by the year 2000 fennel, when five years ago, he promised that he would push for an increase in the minimum wage to nine and a half dollars by two years ago. so what's happened? we've seen since 1968, a decrease by 30%, 30 million people making about 50% less now when adjusted for inflation when c.e.o. compensation averages more than 900% more. that impacts every single one of us. when the minimum wage was raised we'd have $30 billion more a year in consumer spending creating more jobs, a more thriving middle class like we saw in this country for 35 years. cenk: you're right on the policies. if we continued minimum wage, kept up with inflation it would be $10.55 and in you we have a president bragging for asking for $9. write right now, to that point though, do you think the president just thinks i can't get anything done, i have to keep lowering my expectations and that's the problem with the president or do you think he's in
